AOC on steroids?? Is this what we should begin to expect from the next generation of progressive candidates?
'Bernie Democrat': Congressional candidate says Obama 'deserves' worse than cancerA far-left Texas congressional candidate, who tweeted that former President Barack Obama "deserves" worse than cancer, is not backing down from his extreme tweets.
Justin Lecea, 34, is a self-styled "Bernie Democrat" and socialist who is running against Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro in Texas's 20th Congressional District. Lecea was responding to a now-deleted tweet in which he wrote, "If god was just you [Obama] would get the most malignant cancer imaginable."
People are criticizing me for wishing cancer on Obama. I say that having lost a parent to brain cancer after 12 years of fighting, and getting to see just how terrible our Healthcare system is, and I still think he deserves it or worse.

Lecea is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and the International Workers of the World.He continued his verbal assault against Obama by saying that the former president is "a war criminal who was in authority during the desperation of over 3 million immigrants, continued the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, allowed the continued poisoning of citizens in places like Flint, and also recently bought an 11 million dollar home in Martha's Vineyard, and demonstrated privilege so great that he gives zero f---s about y'all.
